#DatingWhileDisabled - Twitter Hashtag

over 3 years ago

#DatingWhileDisabled I know disabled women and girls in relationships or married to men deeply unworthy of them. They're being taken advantage of financially, but folks in their inner circle say they should be grateful for anyone willing to be with a disabled person.

It's not that disabled people aren't married or in romantic relationships. It's harder for us to find love in a world that says we are unattractive and burdensome. We are forced to deal w/ the ableism of non-disabled people and our own internalized ableism. #DatingWhileDisabled

#datingwhiledisabled during an ongoing pandemic that's largely being ignored is actually excruciating. I feel like I'm not allowed to need intimacy while also being at risk for covid

#DatingWhileDisabled is so hard! This one's for all of us who use mobility aids (and name them). 😍

I’m sick of having to be an advocate in my dating life. If one more random woman I just met tells me she’s proud of me without knowing a damn thing about me, I am going to lose it. I just want to go on a date, not to work! #Disability #frustrations #Ableism #datingwhiledisabled

Boy oh BOY. The men on apps? “We’ll get along if you hate slow walkers” “We’ll get along if you hike” Today’s new one… “We’ll get along if you take the stairs” ARE YOU KIDDING ME. #datingwhiledisabled

Online dating as someone with an energy-limiting #disability sucks! So many references to being active, healthy lifestyles, "taking care of yourself," wanting an adventure/travel partner, etc. #DatingWhileDisabled #DisabilityTwitter #NEISvoid

Re-posting the piece that I wrote for Rewriting the Narrative (@WomenEnabled) last year for those of us who are pretty sure that they won’t have a valentines date this year! #Disability #Relationships #DatingWhileDisabled https://t.co/4GwxmmnQMq

Hey here’s one more for #datingWhileDisabled — your needs are not your preferences. “I need to have serious conversations in writing” is closer to “I am deadly allergic to peanuts” than “I dislike Mexican food.” Accommodations should never be used against you.

Alright, by request I’ve got another request for #ActuallyAustistic people to quote tweet and share their experiences: Let’s talk about relationships. I don’t generally give advice in this space because despite being married I’m frankly bad at it. What works for you?

My Dads cousin told my mom not to marry him when they were engaged because he had heart issues and would die while young. Casual ableism eerily reminds me of my own dating life. #LikeFatherLikeSon #DatingWhileDisabled

The song “Lovefool” by the Cardigans is a fave of mine. It goes, “Love me, pretend that you love me. Fool me. Go on and fool me.” It describes wanting to be loved badly & accepting it in it fakest form just to have someone there. Out of fear of being alone. #datingwhiledisabled

I decided I’m going to email producers at the .@BacheloretteABC asking for a disabled woman to be the Bachelorette. #datingwhiledisabled wouldn’t suck so much for us if we normalized being physically attracted to disabled women. It’s a no brainer and would be ratings gold. 💰

This was the 1st date where I brought my wheelchair...I’ve been using it part time for 8 years. I decided not to hide my disability. I tweet about my dates to compel @ABC to pick a disabled girl for the .@BacheloretteABC #datingwhiledisabled is too funny not to be televised. 😂

I hope to stop hating dating...one day. Him: I like your hair. Me: Thank you, I'm experimenting w/ different colors. Him: Yeah, I saw your pics. You had purple hair too. So, are you going to do that for me? Me: Do what? Him: You know, wear different wigs for me. 😉😛 Me:
